To Be Carried Away.
courier-Jo Journal.

Pretty Miss Montz, the sixteen
year-old daughter Of David Montz
the grocerat First and Walnut streets,
saved her mothers valuable Jewels
from being stolen at Q o'clock last
night. The family resides over the
store, and the young ladies were left
alone with Their mother last night.
Miss Montz went into her mothers
apartment, and wasn't frightened
when she saw burglar rummaging
the bureau drawers. She slipped
quietly out of the room, secured her
fathers police whistle, and blew lus-
tily for help. Officer Hickey prompt
ly answered the summons, but the
burglar made his escape by running
down the back stairs and jumping
over side fence. On the marble
slab of the bureau he had laid out In
his handkerchief a pair of diamond
earrings valued at $500, a gold watch
and chain and a number of smaller
articles. He was in the diniDg-room
examining the table silver when the
whistle probably made him think
the house was surrounded by police
men, and he made his escape empty
handed.

We have failed heretofore to notice
the improved appearance, tone and
character of one OF our most highly
prized exchanges. But this has been
from simple inadvertence, and not
through any failure to appreciate its
value. We allude to the "Stewart
Breeze" published at Dover, Tenn.
Under the new name and regime,
1t Is vast Improvement on the old
" Record" /" and Is a good newspaper.
We welcome 1t as weekly epistle
from home and friends, and cordially
wish 1t unbounded success.
We learn from last weeks issue
thatsteps are about to be taken TO
secure, II possible, a connection with
the Ohio Valley railroad. This Is a
move In the right direction. We
would suggest that 1t Is only about
twelve miles from Dover to Ia
Grange Furnace and that there is
already q road from that place con-
Meeting With the Il. & N. at Danville
on the Tennessee river, and that, If
Dover cannot be located on the
main stem of the Ohio Valley, she
can connect with 1t at the nearest
point aud will then have connec-
tion with Memphis and Nashville
and the systems of roads with which
the l.. 4 n. and the 0. v. railroads
connect. We are glad to see the
people Of Stewart county stirring In
the matter and would rejoice TO see
her emerging from the Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep of local aud geographic
cal isolation, and coming to the front
In the matter Of railroad facilitias
and commercial connections. Gil
Stewart is a good county and she has
a fine intelligent and public-spirited
population, and only needs railroad
connections to assume the high
commercial and social positiuA to
which she Is entitled.

The sickenlng Sight That Met the Ryes
Of Those who Dragged the Body Of
John Hargiss out Of Well.


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 1S--
John Hargiss went down In the well
on a farm owned by Rev. Hardy
Pace, about four miles north Of
Dover, Tenn. He had Just com
menced work when he felt the
"cholze Damp rising.
He ordered them to draw him out.
A bucket was quickly lowered and
Mr.. Hargiss drawn to within few
feet of the top Of the we'll, when he
fell from the bucket, a distance Of
about sixty feet, the we'll being
about sixty feet deep.
Imagine the feelings of his friends,
knowing him to be dead at the bot.
tom of a well sixty feet deep, and
certain death to any one who should
venture to go down after the body OF
their friend. Finally hook was
fastened to a rope and let down and
caught to his clothing, and thus he
was dragged out.
The scene that met their eyes
almost beggars description. The
unfortunate mans eyes were bursted
from their sockets, the top of his
head gone, his brains running out
and his body mangled beyond recog-
milton. Mr.. Hargiss was a middle
aged man. He leaves wife and
children to mourn his loss.

Wonderful Phenomenon.

from harrington says: A wonder
full phenomenon occurred here We'd
nesday night about s o'clock. A
luminous body, looking as large as
an elephant, with a long tail at
tached, suddenly appeared In the
southeastern sky and shot out of
sight In a southerly direction. The
night was clouded and without a
moon, but the stars went out and a
strange soft, blue and white light lit
up the whole armament as bright
as day. The light was only five or
six seconds in duration, when all
became suddenly dark again. The
whole presented beautifulspectacle.
To the reporter the firely visitor
seemed to strike the ground a short
distance away. Afterward low,
whirring sound was heard in the
direction where it had disappeared.
Thesound kept Increasing in volumn,
till the roar was terrible. 1t seemed
as If the bed of the ocean was huge
pot and the water was boiling over.
Some people fancied they felt a slight
trem0r of the earth, but most people
felt nothing OF the kind. The noise
which was terrifying lasted fully
minute and a half. 3t3.af' il 't

cies Of Gen. Joseph Mutations

worthy gentleman to travel SO far

whiskey Straight.

At Saundersville, Tenn, on the
18th, a blacksmith named Davis had
a Jug of bed bug poison locked up In
his shop, and one Clay Lyles smelt
in through the cracks and broke the
lock to get a drink. Davis resented
this encroachment on his personal
liberty, and spoke Of Lyles in terms
not over complimentary, using Sun
day school words in speaking to that
gentleman and expressing his opin-
ion of his conduct. Lyles filed his
plea, Davis his replication, Lyies his
rejoinder, when Davis knocked him
senseiess with hammer. But while
Davis was busy shoeing a horse,
Lyles revived In spite of the benzine
which he had imbibed, and got the
drop on Davis by slipping UP behind
him carving him in the back. Davis
responded with a pair of heavy
pinchers over Lyles' head, again ncaus-
ing him to measure his length on
the ground. This ended the battle,
Both parties were badly, but forum
ately neither was fatally, hurt.

a Tragedy OF Errors.

From down in Greenville, s. c.,
comes the story of a murdered man
by the name of John Hughes having
two wives. His second, who has six
children, has qualified as his execu-
trix, and sued his slayer, Mr.. Jacobs
who Is rich, for $4,000 damages,
when To- a former wife appears and
asks to SET aside the qualification as
eyecutrix of spouse No. 2. The
mischief Of the case appears to be
that Amanda M. Huges, the latter
claimant, is the true wife of Huges,
and that the former Mrs. Sallie
Huges, Is innocently in the position
Of being a mother without being q
lawful wife, the latter marriage, o;
course, being void.
